Nick Fairley Has Sprained MCL Return Time Uncertain

ESPN is reporting that Detroit Lions defensive tackle Nick Fairley has a sprained MCL and will be out for 4-5 weeks. There has been chatter that Fairley is seeking a second opinion and having an MRI done before the team makes any kind of announcement on his status. If the team releases a statement that corrects the timetable for his return I will update it here, but for now the belief is that he will be out of action for at least a month and no more than two months.
